Bard's SummerScape is known as one of the most exciting multi-arts festival in the Northeast. SummerScape—now in its eleventh season—offers a tapestry of interwoven events in the disciplines of music, dance, drama, opera, operetta, film, and cabaret, all of them keyed to the theme of the annual Bard Music Festival, which this summer revolves around "Stravinsky and His World." SummerScape events include Sergey Taneyev's opera, Oresteia, the first time it's been staged in its complete version outside of Russia; A Rite—a reconception of Stravinsky's ballet by the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Co. and SITI Co.; a play based on Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita; and the film festival Stravinsky's Legacy and Russian Emigré Cinema, presenting a wide range of films from The Red Shoes to Jean Cocteau's Orphée. Meanwhile, in SummerScape's famous Spiegeltent, enjoy family entertainment and late-night performances, dancing, & dining. SummerScape events are presented in the acoustically superb Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, designed by Frank Gehry, and other venues on Bard College’s Hudson River campus. Near-daily performances from July 5 through August 18.
